  small tiffs over an expensive vehicle - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By lageist - December 9 - 2:00 am

  small annoyances are the brake pedal and gas pedal seem to be far apart and have to move my entire foot from one to the other all the time. ajustable steeing wheel blocks my view of the speedometer when it is down all the way. dimmer switch cant be found at night because it is the only thing not lighted! finally, cant tell if the seat belt is latched when we clip in the kids car seat because it doesnt click when latched.

  Love my "Burban" - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Gordy Toomey - June 5 - 6:29 am

  Handles and rides like any good luxury car. Heated seats are great in the winter. Very comfortable and roomy . I wouldnt drive anything but an SUV or a four door pickup.

  Kid Hauling Machine - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By 5 Girls - May 8 - 1:32 pm

  With 5 girls, this vehicle has everything we need. Room for them and all they things they insist on bringing on our many road trips. It has great power and handling no matter if you are doing 80 mph on the 4 lane or 60 mph down a back country road. The auto 4x4 and stabilitrak are great features for our snowy & icy ND winters. The only problems we have had is around 80,000 miles we had to replace the instrument cluster and some pressure sensor in the fuel tank. We had extended warranty. At 120,000 miles we believe our E85 sensor is out, but runs like new as long as we use regular gas.

  Couldnt be happier - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Pat - March 24 - 11:08 pm

  Ive towed a loaded trailer from Dallas to Vegas and back, family trips, light offroading, carpool duty, and city commuting and my Suburban has handled it all with aplomb. I bought my truck because it could handle full 4x8 sheets with the seats folded and all the other things too and its never failed me yet. Its like the Swiss Army knife of vehicles. It may not be the best at any single thing, but it can do a lot of stuff and do it very, very well. And without all the fumbling around that you get with one of those uber-everything chunky Swiss Army knives, either. Its a super-capable vehicle. I couldnt be happier with my choice to buy this truck.

  Best Ride on the Road - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Mike - July 22 - 9:55 am

  My wife has an X5 and I have the Z71 Suburban. It drives so well I can not give it up. We have three kids and this vehicle is perfect for us. I have all the "bells and whistles" and it is perfect for road trips to the beach, etc. We have looked at all luxury SUV options. This is your best value. I recommend the Z71. We have the third row and bucket seats on the second row. If you get a bench seat on the second row it makes it very difficult to get the kids in and out.

  Want to buy another one. - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By pumaripobbs - January 23 - 9:59 pm

  This is the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Buying it used saved a ton, which makes it that much better. Im tempted to buy one for myself. Highly recommend it. Still my favorite vehicle on the road today.

  More Power with a smoother ride - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By J. Kreiner - January 10 - 8:29 am

  I recently purchased a 2004 Suburban to replace my 1999 Tahoe. I really liked my Tahoe however sometimes felt the transmission was lacking performance especially when towing a travel trailer. I expected a slight improvement in performance and comfort but was not prepared for the huge improvement that I felt. The Suburban handles almost as well as my 06 Lucerne around curves and I can really feel the extra kick in the engine and transmission whether Im towing or not. I highly recommend a test drive If you like the late 90s and early 00s Chevy large SUVs you owe it to yourself to see the improvements. It really drives like a car

  Buy American and buy the best! - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By Keith Rigsby - January 2 - 8:41 pm

  So much room, power, capability, wrapped up in such a handsome design with rock solid reliability. Thats the Suburban. There is nothing better. Filled with luggage to the ceiling, 4 adults, driving 80-85 mph going to Colorado for snow skiing last month. Averaged 17.9 mpg! 2 wheel drive and it handled the snow covered mountain passes and switchbacks with ease. Drives like a much smaller vehicle. You can keep the Toyotas and Hondas. Give me American ingenuity at its best with the Suburban. The Suburban has been a hit for General Motors since 1935! Its only gotten better over the years and the 04 is one of the best. love it! Long live General Motors and Cheverolet!

  love that Quadrasteer - 2004 Chevrolet Suburban
  By CharlieT - December 30 - 1:29 pm

  I tow a 6000 lb Airstream and am very happy with the peformance. I have the 6.0 with a 3.73 rearend. I dont plan on getting a bigger trailer so I wanted to maximize mpg at the expense of a little more grunt. After almost three years and 25K miles I think I made the right choice. I get about the same as mileage towing (12 mpg)as I did pulling my 5000 lb Airstream with an Astro van but with much better stability, acceleration, and stopping power.
